I’m not in the video for very long, but you can see me quickly walking in and out of the computer lab around 3:58. I’m in all black (of course) wearing the t-shirt with a saber tooth tiger skull on it (of course) and a pony tail (which I don’t tend to draw myself with, even though I had it through most of college).

It’s weird to realize how dated it is. I don’t remember the actual specs on the computers, but I know that the Macs were running OS 9, maybe even 7 or 8. Oh, and the computers all had zip drives, although I think that maybe five people on campus actually used zip discs.

By 2001, the Macs were running OS 9, I believe. They hadn’t upgraded the lab computers to OS X yet.

When I first started really using the computer labs at BGSU in 1994 or 1995, I think they were running 7.5.1 on the pizza-box Macs. Good times.

Oh, and I still have the dozen Zip disks I used at school — but I was a VCT student, with a fair amount of media to work on for class. Kind of funny, now — all those Zip disks would fit on a teeny thumb drive now, for the price of one of those damn 100MB disks.

I don’t think that they upgraded the lab computers to OS X until after I left in 2003.

I was in an odd spot with the Zip discs. When I was in computer animation, they were too small for me to store anything, and then I switched to creative writing, where a 3.5 floppy was more than enough space.
